Novel extracellular polymeric substances produced by Cupriavidus necator IPT 027 grown on glucose and crude glycerol originated from biodiesel

The aim of this study was to evaluate the production and properties of novel extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from glucose (EPS 1) and crude glycerol (CG) from castor beans oil (EPS 2). Cupriavidus necator IPT 027 cultivated with glucose and CG (35 °C, 150 rpm, 72 hr, pH 7, shaker) produced approximately 1.60 ± 0.01 and 2.83 ± 0.02 g l^?1 EPS, respectively, with high‐molecular weight (3.89 × 10⁵ and 1.89 × 10⁷ Da) and constituted of different functional groups such as uronic acid, monosaccharides (glucose, mannose, arabinose, and fucose) and primary amine group. The composition of the fermentable substrate influenced the melting temperature (221.11 and 230.18 °C), crystallinity (34.36% and 37.11%), degradation temperature (255.06 and 296.62 °C) and morphology. EPS showed pseudoplastic non‐Newtonian fluid behavior in the aqueous solutions, presenting potential applicability biotechnological and industrial mainly in food industry as emulsifiers and biosurfactants. This is the first study on the production and characterization of EPS obtained by C. necator IPT 027 in culture with glucose and CG. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On the two classes of high‐order convergent methods of approximate inverse preconditioners for solving linear systems

Two classes of methods for approximate matrix inversion with convergence orders p =3?2^k +1 (Class 1) and p =5?2^k ?1 (Class 2), k ≥1 an integer, are given based on matrix multiplication and matrix addition. These methods perform less number of matrix multiplications compared to the known hyperpower method or p th‐order method for the same orders and can be used to construct approximate inverse preconditioners for solving linear systems. Convergence, error, and stability analyses of the proposed classes of methods are provided. Theoretical results are justified with numerical results obtained by using the proposed methods of orders p =7,13 from Class 1 and the methods with orders p =9,19 from Class 2 to obtain polynomial preconditioners for preconditioning the biconjugate gradient (BICG) method for solving well‐ and ill‐posed problems. From the literature, methods with orders p =8,16 belonging to a family developed by the effective representation of the p th‐order method for orders p =2^k , k is integer k ≥1, and other recently given high‐order convergent methods of orders p =6,7,8,12 for approximate matrix inversion are also used to construct polynomial preconditioners for preconditioning the BICG method to solve the considered problems. Numerical comparisons are given to show the applicability, stability, and computational complexity of the proposed methods by paying attention to the asymptotic convergence rates. It is shown that the BICG method converges very quickly when applied to solve the preconditioned system. Therefore, the cost of constructing these preconditioners is amortized if the preconditioner is to be reused over several systems of same coefficient matrix with different right sides.

Polarization tensors of planar domains as functions of the admittivity contrast

(Electric) polarization tensors describe part of the leading order term of asymptotic voltage perturbations caused by low volume fraction inhomogeneities of the electrical properties of a medium. They depend on the geometry of the support of the inhomogeneities and on their admittivity contrast. Corresponding asymptotic formulas are of particular interest in the design of reconstruction algorithms for determining the locations and the material properties of inhomogeneities inside a body from measurements of current flows and associated voltage potentials on the body’s surface. In this work, we consider the two-dimensional case only and provide an analytic representation of the polarization tensor in terms of spectral properties of the double layer integral operator associated with the support of simply connected conductivity inhomogeneities. Furthermore, we establish that an (infinitesimal) simply connected inhomogeneity has the shape of an ellipse, if and only if the polarization tensor is a rational function of the admittivity contrast with at most two poles whose residues satisfy a certain algebraic constraint. We also use the analytic representation to provide a proof of the so-called Hashin–Shtrikman bounds for polarization tensors; a similar approach has been taken previously by Golden and Papanicolaou and Kohn and Milton in the context of anisotropic composite materials.     

Quasi-compact operator,pseudo-essential spectra and some perturbation results

In this paper, we use the concept of quasi-compact operators, as a generalization of the class of Riesz operators, to improve the definition of the pseudo-Schechter essential spectrum of a closed densely defined operator acting on Banach space. Moreover, we discuss the incidence of some perturbation results on the behavior of pseudo-essential spectra of the sum of two bounded linear operators.     

On the general expression of Fredholm Integral Equations Method in elasticity

In this paper, the concept of covering domain is introduced to develop a general expression for the Fredholm Integral Equations Method, by which elasticity problems of arbitrarily shaped bodies loaded by external forces can be solved. Some special expressions are given for a body with non-zero remote stresses, or subjected to some concentrated forces on its boundary. The relationship between the loading forces and solutions are also discussed. Some analytical solutions can be obtained for simple cases. When numerical computations are needed for the solution, the method proves to have high precision and fast convergency.
